That his wife's silence and her refus al to converse with him when he felt In a talkative mood constituted cruel ty, was the allegation made by A. J. Houlton ot this city In a suit for di vorce filed today In the Superior court. The court granted the de cree, the bizarre feature of the com plaint bearfng an Important part in the decision. Houlton Is the first man who has gone on record In this city a declaring that hi wife talk too little and that he considers a lapse Into silence as cruelty. His wife' devotion to the -"no-breakfast" fad and her consequent refusal to prepare his morning meal during their married life Is another allegation of the plaintiff. A queer contradiction contained in the com plaint Is the statement that, notwith standing the alleged abuse suffered by him, he views his wife's desertion two months ago as an added act of cruelty.

The way and means committee today be gan bearings on the lumber tariff, giving the entire morning to the ad vocates of free lumber. All but one advocate of the removal of duty from lumber admitted owning timber land and lumber mills In Canada, one con fessing that his operations were con fined entirely to Canada. This af ternoon the committee gave a hearing to the lumbermen Interested in main taining the present tariff. Among those to he heard are R. N. McCor- mlck ot Tacoma, F. H. Lamb ot Ho qulam, 8. W. Niblich ot La Grande and John Ale McMasters of Seattle. There was a difference of opinion among the morning witnesses as to the probable effect ot the removal of duty on lumber. It was admitted by all that the consumers would not re ceive benefit equal to the tariff and two witnesses frankly stated that the removal of the duty would not re duce the price of lumber to the con sumer, but would have a tendency to prevent a further advance in price. A striking feature of the testimony was that the repeated declaration that the cost of manufacture of lum ber Is as great In British Columbia as In the United States. All the wit nesses under cross-examination ad mitted that the price of lumber Is never likely to materially decline. and It will never get back to the price that prevailed ten year ago. If the duty Is not repealed. It was predicted that there would be a fur ther "abnormal" advance in prices. 4? m m iti jjj Needs replacing with a new one - ' 2 We want you to" replace it THAT OLD FENCE DENVER, Colo., Nov. 20. At no time since the opening ot the conven tion ot the American Federation ot Labor has there been any doubt about Gompers being in complete con trol, but it was thought possible that part ot his report might be materi ally amended or his political course condemned. The report was before the conven tion for a day and a half, and al though for a while there was vigor ous discussion on some of Its con tents it was adopted this afternoon and Gompers is thereby fully In dorsed. Tomorrow the election ot officers Is the special order ot business. All the old officers will probably be re elected except Vice-President Daniel E. Keefe, and even he may again be voted into office. It Is reported the miners will support Keefe and they have the largest vote ot any union In the convention. President Gompers was presented with a handsome sliver loving cup and Mrs. Gompers with a diamond ring. Gompers could scarcely con trol bis feelings as be thanked the convention. A resolution commending Roose velt in the conservation of the natur al resource was unanimously adopt ed. The resolution that the Federa tion erect a building for It uses at Washington, D.

The entire session of the American Fed eration of Labor today was given over to the consideration of the re port ot the committee on the presi dent's report. Two sections caused prolonged debate and the vote was reached on only one, that referring to litigation in regard to labor. The report of the committee recommend ing that Injunctions be disregarded was defeated In roll call 11,272 to 2576, and modification of the report along the line of President Gomp ers' report was adopted. Yesterday's sessions of the 28th annual convention of the American Federation of Labor were devoted to the consideration of complete reports ot the resolutions committee and re ports ot the other committees that had not yet been heard from. The election of officer may be reached Friday afternoon and the Installation Saturday morning, after which the convention will adjourn. Toronto seem to have the lead over the other cities contesting for the next convention, although St. Louis Is making a hard fight. . There appears to be only two fights for offices In the Federation. John Mitchell and T. L. Lewi will lock horn for the second vice-presidency, and Andrew Furnseth of the Seamen's Union will try to oust Dan iel J. Keefe ot the Longshoremen' Union from the office he holds. . The dispute between the Interna tional Longshoremen's association and the Longshoremen's Internation al Union ot the Pacific Coast cam before the Federation on a report of the committee recommending the re atfillatton between the warring un ions. C. O. Young of the Oregon State Federation of Labor, spoke against the report. He. said there were. .10,000 men on the Pacific coast who were barred out of the Federation. . Several years ago there was a Jurisdictional dispute, and these men who are now outside the Federation were placed nnder the jurisdiction ot the Longshoremen's association, of which Mr. Keefe Is president For this reason the men seceding wished to be nnder the jurisdiction ot the Seamen' International nnlon, of which Andrew Furnseth I m mem ber. They formed their own union un der the nam ot the Pacific Coast Longshoremen' nnlon.

I wondered that a being small should without peril to him lf strike a creature like this with his list, continuing all the time within reach of teeth and hoofs. "I will tell the kbawoja," replied Mustafa, "a most curious and Interest ing thlug about this." Ahmed bad mastered the camel and now came to his place. 'The khawaja has observed.'' Musta fa continued, "that a child may beat and command a camel. It Is not be cause the camel Is stupid nor yet be cause he la timid: It Is because ot a wise provision whereby God suited htm to the weakness of men. The camel' eyes are like magnifying glasses and Increase the stature of bis master seven time, wherefore be Is obedient to the gigantic appearing creature." In Damascus, too.

The first preliminary move in the suit of the government against tha Oregon A California Railroad com pany to recover lands valued at about 34,000,000 was made In the United States court, when Judge Wolvertoa ruled on exceptions by the defendant railroad company to the bill of com plaint filed by John L. Snyder de manding that the defendant corpora tion be required to sell to him 1C acre of the granted land at the priea- ot 82.50 an acre, tbe price stipulated' In the grant by which landa were ac quired originally by the railroad com pany. The exception were sustained la part and overruled In other. In an nouncing hi decision, Judge Wolver ton Intimated that It probably would ' be necessary to make all ot the Indi vidual settlers who had applied for the purchase ot tracts of these land,, parties to the government's suit, la order that every phase ot the con troversy might be considered simul taneously. Several months ago Snyder filed' suit In the Federal court demanding: that the Oregon California Rail road company be forced to sell to him 160 acres of land Included la its grant tor 32.60 an acre. Slnea then nearly 100 similar' suits have been Instituted. In addition to these,, probably 700 other Individuals have filed bills of Intervention. They alw probably will be made parties to tha maln suit and the right of all partlea to the controversy will be determined' I at the same time. Over the objection ot D. B.
